Introduction
If the buttons on the Seville Classics MSC10166 Tower Fan become broken or sticky, you can use this guide to replace the buttons.
Broken buttons can make it hard turn on or change the settings, which can impact the functionality of your fan.
You will not need any special skills in order to complete this project.
Before you begin, make sure the fan is off and unplugged, as you will be touching wires and circuit boards.

Great work but our problem is the micro switch itself, after exposing the circuit board I shorted the backside solder connections to cycle the fan on and off, everything works perfectly…..now I only need to know a part number so I can find a on/off micro switch.
any suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can provide

Is there a way to keep the fan in ALWAYS ON position. So I can control it’s ON/OFF using a smart plug?
